Tonkor Seriously That Bad?

[Ketec]

5s delay before they explode without a manual option? Plus extreme bouncing.

 

You cant place them on ground, stack them or even blow up when near the enemy.
 

 

Instead it's a explosive, low accuracy, slow, non hitscan  "sniper" rifle.

[(PSN)Sybaris-]

But it's endgame af. It's fine as it is

[xlraistlx]

Tonkor... bad?

 

Wut?

[Omega-Shadowblade]

A person with a good aim with the tonkor can wipe out huge waves. Aim is key here.

[Stratego89]

They explode on impact with an enemy. You can't just spray it everywhere, you have to HIT enemies... Tonkor is AMAZING, you just have to use it right...

 

EDIT: Also, the extreme bounce is so you can jump and shoot it under you to bounce it back to you for it's special Nade' Jumping feature that launches you.

Wow Tonkor is the best boom weapon ever, you just shot it at enemys instead of shooting the ground or in the air all the time

Put on terminal velocity and a jetstream Zeph build and it esplodes on impact, doing hella guccii damages, and even without those, it's a simple arcing wep, not that hard to hit, especially in groups, which you should be aiming for anyways with an explosive wep.

Tonkor... bad?

 

Wut?

 

these are the exact first 3 words that came into my mind while reading this :P

[(XBOX)C0gnitive 0n3]

Every player who's familiar with the Tonkor will hit damage in the 100K's - consistently. At writing, I'm failing to recall any other weapon that does that - consistently.

That being said, I can't tell if you are/were being serious?

[SwiftPotato12]

Aim is key. Go back to Boltor Prime or the like for spraying.

[Brandr_]

It's called skill

 

The tonkor is one of very few weapons in the game that requires genuine skill to master, not mods

[Dhrekr]

Must be a troll. Nobody who has actually tried to use the Tonkor could ever say it's bad.

 

It's not a simple weapon to use, sure, but it's an endgame weapon.

[(PSN)MoRockaPDX]

I don't groc tonkor, can I be salty?

[MrDar1o]

So people think it's bad? I thought people want nerf it, not buff.

This is it. 

 

Tonkor is probally one of the best weapons when you get used to the arh, travel time etc. 

[(XBOX)JAMEEL32]

Tonkor is one of few weapons that both requires and rewards skill. The downsides are more than adequately compensated with the tremendous damage potential.

Leave it alone.

Gonna speak as someone who "mains" the Tonkor.

 

Aim only matters at lower levels when there's fewer, spread out enemies.  Come the higher levels, and this becomes a non-issue.  Shoot at the general direction of crowds; your grenades are bound to touch something and nuke the place.

i first tried the tonkor and after getting it to 30 i deleted it

 

then i created it again and after six formas its ok but the two ammo clip limit really limits this weapon versus a penta or secura penta

 

the tonkor works ok as a run and gun shotgun if you have good aim but the seven rounds of the secura penta are much better at clearing large areas plus the syndicate effects and i rather run a secura penta

 

the tonkor get used for luls once in a while but then what do i know as my most used gun by a large margin are 8 forma akstilletos for killing everything with my primary as backup

[ThePredicament]

No skill and no proper set up does not make the weapon bad, just means you need to practice your skills (remember, aim a little to the right) and need to give it some tater/forma love.

[(PSN)FriendSharkey]

Everything you described is basically the reason the Tonkor hasn't been nerfed. It's the worst and best weapon all rolled into one.

[Ziegrif]

Hit the enemy on the nogging.

Problem solved.

It's exactly like the Loch and Load in TF2.

Direct hit or bust.

[Sci_Ant]

I only use Loki P and Tonkor. Everything else is beneath me.

 

I keed, I keed. XD But how could anyone think the Tonkor is bad? Just use the Terminal Velocity mod.

[weirdee]

The long fuse is there to punish bad aim, and so that if you so wished, leaves you the option of running over and manually detonating it with your foot.

 

They also immediately stop if they hit a body of water, which means you can use them like proximity mines in certain situations.

 

If you're underwhelmed by the output, you haven't been paying attention to the crit bonuses.

[Pixues]

you could try this trick to explode on any impact.

The solution to that last sentence is obviously "git gud"

 

But remember the poetic words of your elders :

Rocket jump"
